A winning Powerball ticket was sold in Tennessee, netting the yet-to-be-announced victor a $420.9 million prize. 

No winner had come forward to claim it Saturday night.

The jackpot surged over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend after no winning numbers were selected in a Wednesday night drawing.

The latest winning numbers called Saturday night were: 17-19-21-37-44, Powerball: 16, Power Play: 2 

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million. The popular game is played in 44 states plus Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Hundreds of Haitian refugees got to experience an American Thanksgiving dinner in San Diego Saturday.

“What a better way to say thank you to God, to the community, to America for allowing these people to come and just be?”, Guerline Jozef of the Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA), says.

The Alliance hosted hundreds of Haitian refugees Saturday at the City Heights Library for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

The organization helps Haitian refugees transition to life in the United States with social services, some including translation and resume writing workshops.

"Specifically San Diego, unlike the east coast, New Jersey, Miami, etc; we don't have a strong Haitian community,” Jayla Mothe, of HBA, adds. “So when these folks get here, they tend to get lost. It's our job as HBA … to come in and provide at least some guidance."

San Diego is seeing an influx of Haitian refugees crossing the border on a humanitarian permit.

Many are traveling by foot from Brazil, hoping to find work after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti left millions homeless. 

Several lanes of southbound Interstate 5 are blocked at the Via De La Valle exit after a crash, according to Caltrans. 

Originally all lanes were blocked, but the two right lanes opened just after 11 p.m. Saturday. 

No other information was immediately available.

Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. says President elect-Donald Trump offered him the job of education secretary, but that he turned it down for personal reasons.

Falwell tells The Associated Press that Trump offered him the job last week during a meeting in New York. He says Trump wanted a four- to six-year commitment, but that he couldn't leave Liberty for more than two years. 

Falwell says he couldn't afford to work at a Cabinet-level job for longer than that and didn't want to move his family, especially his 16-year-old daughter.

Trump announced Wednesday he had selected charter school advocate Betsy DeVos for the job. Falwell says he thinks DeVos is an "excellent choice."

Trump spoke at the Christian university in Lynchburg, Virginia, in January and Falwell later endorsed him.

No one does Black Friday quite like the team behind Cards Against Humanity.

The Chicago-based company behind the popular card game continued its tradition of absurd Black Friday antics by raising thousands of dollars to dig a massive hole. 

Yes, you read that correctly – the "party game for horrible people" launched its "Holiday Hole" campaign at 12 p.m. CST on Friday with a livestream of a hole being dug with a countdown clock and an option to donate.

"As long as money keeps coming in, we'll keep digging," promises holidayhole.com, the website dedicated to the cause. For every dollar donated, about 0.5 seconds is added to the countdown clock. 

As of Saturday afternoon, the promotion had raised more than $80,000 with about 23 hours of dig time remaining. 

The site's FAQ page answers some of the burning questions on the minds of fans and critics alike:
What’s happening here?
Cards Against Humanity is digging a holiday hole.
Is this real?
Unfortunately it is.
Where is the hole?
America. And in our hearts.
Is there some sort of deeper meaning or purpose to the hole?
No.
What do I get for contributing money to the hole?
A deeper hole. What else are you going to buy, an iPod?

This is hardly the first time Cards Against Humanity has launched a campaign mocking the busiest shopping day of the year. In 2013, the company increased the game's price by $5 in lieu of offering a Black Friday sale, only to outdo itself the following year by selling boxes of actual poop. 

That promotion sold out to more than 30,000 customers, many of whom were shocked when bull feces arrived on their doorstep. The company then donated the proceeds to nonprofit organization Heifer International. 

In 2015, the "Give Cards Against Humanity $5 Sale" raked in more than $71,000 by selling literally "nothing" for $5 and distributing the haul among employees who spent it on a variety of hilarious purchases that included a suit of armor, several trips and thousands of dollars in charitable donations.

For those thinking that the company with a track record of holiday giving would put the "Holiday Hole" money to another good cause, the site kills that hope in answering the question, "Why aren’t you giving all this money to charity?"

"Why aren’t YOU giving all this money to charity? It’s your money," the FAQ retorts.

"You’re supposed to think it’s funny," the site tells readers wondering how to feel. "You might not get it for a while, but some time next year you’ll chuckle quietly to yourself and remember all this business about the hole."

A family in San Diego’s East County is growing more and more concerned as an unwanted, four-legged visitor keeps returning to their yard.

“I’m guessing he lives somewhere up on the side of the hill there,” Lakeside resident Kyle Michael told NBC 7 Saturday, referring to a mountain lion spotted several times near his home. “Nobody’s ever seen one around here.”

Michael, who lives on Green Lane, has captured sightings of the mountain lion on his home surveillance cameras over the past few months. The first images of the big cat were caught on video in July, as the mountain lion walked down Michael’s driveway just minutes before one of Michael’s family members left the house to head to work.

“He’s really long and slender-looking,” Michael told NBC 7, describing the animal.

The Lakeside resident said the sightings of the mountain lion have left him worried for the safety of his family, including his 2-year-old son.

“It’s kind of scary, when you walk out in the morning. I don’t go to work ‘til 8 a.m. but the [mountain lion] is up at the crack of dawn and that’s usually when he’s roaming,” said Michael. “Makes me want to keep my son inside and my dogs inside, you know, cause who knows if he’s hungry.”

Michael’s concern for his toddler only grew when the mountain lion resurfaced on video two weeks ago, this time walking down his front steps – the ones leading directly up to and around his front porch to the front door.

“I was down working on that tractor down there and it was probably around 10 or 11 a.m. and he was up on this hillside over here, coming down and he [saw] us and he didn’t stop, he just kept going down over there,” he recalled.

In all of the sightings, the mountain lion walks down from the hill into the neighborhood below.

Michael said one of his neighbors called a wildlife association to report the animal.

“They said they don’t do anything unless the animal is causing harm but he’s causing any harm yet,” said Michael.

He said his family and neighbors used to hear coyotes several times a week on the hill but since this past summer they have heard no howling, just silence, along with the occasional glimpse of another predator even higher on the food chain.

An East Bay family is shocked and unsettled after someone cut electricity to their home and planted 56 American flags, seven of which were defaced with handwritten pro-Donald Trump messages, on their front lawn early Saturday morning.

Concord police are investigating the incident, reported by Jay and Denisen Hartlove, who live on Montana Drive in Concord. 

The couple was preparing for bed just after midnight when Jay heard someone fiddling with their screen door. When he went to check out the noise, he says he found scores of plastic American flags staked into his front lawn, and a man — believed to be a neighbor with whom the family has had previous issues  — skulking away from the house.

"There was one in the door handle to our car, there were flags all over the front lawn, and there was one in our screen door," Denisen Hartlove said.

Some of the flags had "Build The Damn Wall" and "I Luv The Donald" written on them in black ink. The Hartloves say they are one of the more liberal families on the block, and believe they may have been targeted because of it.

"Why would someone do that?" Jay wondered. "I mean, (the vandal) must have spent 20 minutes out there putting the flags in. This is not some drive-by prank….I mean, where do you get 56 flags in November?"

Upon finding the flags, the couple was irked but not worried.

"We tried to brush it off – Trump flags aren’t going to hurt anyone," Denisen said. "We sort of made light of the situation, like ha ha ha." The couple confronted the neighbor who they think is responsible, but neither Jay nor Denisen got a response.

A short time later, at about 1:30 a.m., the situation became more serious. The Hartloves heard a huge bang and were plunged into complete darkness.

At first, they thought the abrupt loss of electricity could be related to the fireworks going off in the street hours earlier, but they soon discovered that the metering box connecting power to their property had been ripped off. It was then that they became worried and frightened for their safety, and the safety of their two daughters, who were asleep in bed.

"At that point, I thought we were under attack," Denisen said.

The couple called the Concord Police Department and filed a police report with two officers, both of whom the Hartloves describe as being "very unhelpful."

"They basically said that because (the neighbor) denied doing it, they couldn’t do anything," Jay said.

The entire experience, from the vandalism to the Concord police "not taking the situation seriously," has left the family reeling, according to Denisen.

"This is our home," she said. "We should be able to feel safe in our home."

Chris Blakely, a spokesman with the Concord Police Department, said that officers are investigating, and noted that a detective has already been assigned to the case. A follow-up is scheduled for Monday, he said.

"For us to do our job efficiently, we have to make sure that we get all the information," Blakely said. "That includes taking photographs, talking to neighbors, seeing if anyone has surveillance footage. It’s not as quick as some people want, but we do take it seriously."

Throughout the Bay Area and the nation, politically-motivated instances of harassment are being reported at an alarming rate, according to hate-tracking groups. As of Monday, the Southern Poverty Law Center had noted 701 reports of harassment since election day.

Many critics have pointed to President-elect Donald Trump's campaign rhetoric as fueling the incidents. In a sit-down interview with 60 Minutes, Trump told any of his supporters engaging in the behavior to "stop it."

Meanwhile, the Hartloves, who have lived on Montana street for 20 years, are in the process of installing surveillance cameras around their home — a security measure they never thought they would need in their safe, suburban neighborhood.

"We like our house. We like the street. We like our neighbors. With very few exceptions, it’s a wonderful place to be," Denisen said. "But, at this stage, I don’t know that I’m not going to wake up with the house burning down around me.

"I use to be friends with his wife, and I really don't know when things went south or why," Denisen said.

For her, the silver lining on a dark cloud has been the neighbors — Republican and Democrat — who have stepped up to condemn the vandalism.

"We had quite a few neighbors offer support and say ‘You know what, that’s not OK. It doesn’t matter who you voted for, that’s not an okay thing to do,’" she recalled. "They offered us help, and that was really nice to see. It was just really nice to see people step forward from our community."

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Sunday criticized Republican objections to the Wisconsin recount effort, arguing that the move is within legal rights and fairly common after elections.

"We have recounts, probably almost every election there's a recount," Sanders, I-Vt., said on CNN. "No one expects there to be profound change but there's nothing wrong with going through the process."

Wisconsin election officials accepted Green Party candidate Jill Stein's petition for a statewide recount, which is slated to begin late next week. The recount plan has drawn scorn from President-elect Donald Trump and his surrogates.

When asked about senior adviser Kellyanne Conway's tweets that decried Hillary Clinton supporters for challenging the results after pressuring Trump to do the same during the general election, Sanders replied that "nobody cares."

Donald Trump talks "regularly" with President Barack Obama and "very much enjoys" their conversations, a top Trump aide said Sunday.

Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said Trump's consulted the president on his Cuba policy and the two spoke this weekend.

"He's even been talking to President Obama. You know, beyond the sit-down they had 30 hours or so after President-elect Trump won the election, they've been talking regularly on any number of issues. They talked just yesterday," she said.

The latest conversation went on about 40-45 minutes, she said, though she wouldn't offer details on what was discussed. But the two "get along nicely," Conway added, despite their differences.

A Trump transition team official later told NBC News that the president-elect and his predecessor have spoken several times since they met in the Oval Office two weeks ago.

During the week of preparation for Sunday's game in Houston, Charger quarterback Philip Rivers hinted we would be in for another close game.

"We're gonna be in the game with five minutes to play and there are only two outcomes that will happen from there," said Rivers.

That means win or lose (we'll forget about the tie) and with the Chargers the last two seasons hat has usually meant lose. This time the Chargers were in it with 5:00 to play but this time they had the lead and held on barely.

Rivers threw three touchdown passes and San Diego's defense forced four of turnovers in a 21-13 win at NRG Stadium in Houston.

With the Texans leading 7-0 in the second quarter the Bolts offense got a big play. Wide receiver Dontrelle Inman lost Houston safety Quinton Demps with a fantastic move and Rivers hit him for a 52-yard touchdown and a 7-7 game.

Just four plays later Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler tried to connect with DeAndre Hopkins Allen the sideline but Casey Hayward cut in front of the pass to make a dazzling interception.

That turnover led to another Chargers score. After running back Melvin Gordon took off on an 18-yard run Rivers found Tyrell Williams down the middle for a 21-yard score and a 14-7 halftime lead.

The 3rd quarter was also scoreless, helped by a Lamar Miller fumble recovered by cornerback Trevor Williams. Former Chargers kicker Nick Novak hit a short field goal early in the 4th to cut the lead to 14-10 and Rivers went to work again, finding Inman for gains of 11 and 25 on consecutive plays then throwing a 12-yard TD pass to tight end Hunter Henry to put San Diego up double digits.

Osweiler, who has drawn the ire of Texans fans for not living up to his $72 million contract, made another terrible throw that was intercepted by safety Dwight Lowery and the Texans simply ran out of time and chances.

Osweiler tried a pair of jump balls in the end zone at the end but one was knocked away and the other was picked off by safety Dexter McCoil. The Chargers improve to 5-6 heading in to next week's home game against Tampa Bay.

After an extended holiday weekend it’s time for extended family to make the journey home. Busier roads and stormy, rainy weather didn’t help, and some drivers were a bit nervous about the road back.

” It's been crazy, everybody on the road has just been crazy,” one holiday traveler tells NBC 7. “You gotta slow down, you gotta slow down. You gotta be careful, you gotta get home.”

After Saturday’s wet weather, first responders have been busy.

A man was taken to the hospital after his car slipped on a wet road and slammed into a light pole in Vista. The driver was trapped and had to be rescued by firefighters.

A family of three was injured when they were involved in a collision on Interstate 15 near Miramar, forcing the freeway to close temporarily.

“It's not worth speeding, that's for sure,” another advises.

When southern California freeways get soaked, conditions are already dangerous. And things are especially busy this weekend because of people coming home from the Thanksgiving holiday.

Cassandra and her family got stuck in the storm on their way back from Las Vegas.

“I know that people are in a hurry to get home after the holiday rush, but we drove really slow, 'cause we had a car full of kids so we were just trying to be very careful, you know. We just took our time coming home,” Cassandra tells NBC 7. “Our truck was kinda sliding off the freeway, like off the road, so we had to be very careful, so we were, you know, just trying to be very cautious."

Between Wednesday night and Sunday morning the California Highway Patrol reported 53 DUI arrests and three fatalities in San Diego County.

To close out the Thanksgiving weekend, Dream Dinners, a company that provides packaged dinners for families to heat at home, held a food packaging event for families in need Sunday.

More than 1,000 volunteers helped put together 160,000 meals, 25 percent going to hungry families in San Diego and the other 75 percent to Haitian families to help with hurricane relief.

Valerie Bass, owner of Dream Dinners in Encinitas, says they sold out of volunteer slots a week and a half ago. 

"Once word spread people jumped online and signed up," Bass tells NBC 7. 

Phil Harris, owner of Dream Dinners in Poway, has high hopes for next year's Thanksgiving event.

“Can you think of a greater way to end Thanksgiving weekend than as a community coming together?” Harris says. “My hope, my vision is next year on Thanksgiving we host this event at Petco Park or Qualcomm, we do the largest food packing event in the world."

Upcoming volunteer opportunities can be found here.

Sharp Healthcare announced Sunday evening that their nurses will not strike Monday.

A three-day strike had been scheduled after negotiations between Sharp and the union stalled, according to Sharp Professional Nurses Network.

"I think it's promising and it's probably the right thing to do," Sharp nurse Bridget Garland tells NBC 7. 

The union claims its nurses are overworked and underpaid and that nurses are often sent home due to cancelled shifts leading to high job turnover.

“Nurse recruitment and retention remains the central issue in bargaining,” said Christina Magnusen, RN, President of Sharp Professional Nurses Network (SPNN), the Sharp RNs’ union. “Over the past week, Sharp has made slight improvements in some of their proposals addressing nurse turnover. Sharp seems to now recognize the need to be in a better position to recruit nurses, and keep them once they’ve spent the money to train and orient them, so they will stay and make a career at Sharp. We remain hopeful that we can more fully tackle this crucial issue and complete the contract.”

“Bargaining is about finding common ground, and tonight we found common ground on the issue of all nurses at Sharp being united as one voice to advocate for our patients, or union security as it’s known in contact language. Sharp made some compromises and we made some compromises,” Denise Duncan, RN, President of UNAC/UHCP, of which the Sharp nurses union is an affiliate, said in a statement.

Negotiations fell through a few days ago when the union asked that all incoming nurses be required to join and pay dues.

"I'm just really excited our union and Sharp, my employer for the last 23 years, have decided hopefully on something good, it sounds like it's something good," Veronica Kemp, a nurse at Sharp Chula Vista, tells NBC 7. 

While the union and Sharp have not reached an agreement on a new collective bargaining contract, the parties will continue their negotiations.

Sharp put out a statement that reads in part: 

"This is an excellent development for our patients, the San Diego community and our employees. We remain optimistic that Sharp and the union will succeed in reaching agreement on a new contract."

Current registered nurses who have chosen not to pay dues will continue to have the option to pay dues or not. The agreement calls for newly hired registered nurses to be dues-paying members within 30 days of their employment. Following 90 days of employment, newly hired nurses will have a five-day period in which to make a choice to continue paying dues or not.

There was also a tentative agreement that the union will not provide an additional strike notice prior to January 1, 2017.

Sharp and the union will meet on Tuesday to continue negotiation on the collective bargaining agreement.

A couple had all of their belongings stolen just hours after moving to San Diego.

Nathaniel and Maria Castro had just moved into their apartment at Countryside Village in El Cajon Saturday night from Colorado.

They said it was late, so they didn't unpack their trailer and left it locked in the parking lot.

the apartment manager woke them up a few hours later, and said someone had just stolen their trailer.

it was filed with thousands of dollars’ worth of belongings, including the couple's social security cards and passports.

 “We had all of our personal belongings. We had clothes, woodwork that we did, wood that we brought. We had a lot of just personal items," said Nathaniel Castro.

The trailer has Colorado license plate on the back- OQX-178. Any information, you're asked to contact the owners at (858) 336-6230.

The normal liveliness found in Havana's streets was notably absent Sunday afternoon as Cubans prepare to nationally memorialize the late Fidel Castro. 

Sounds of afro-Cuban music wafting from the trumpets and drums of sidewalk bands were gone. There were no dancers shimmying on sidewalks. The hustle and bustle of Havana is always present, but at this moment, it is a city paying its respects.

"The Cuban people love Fidel," said Yhosvani "Yuri" Mazola. "We love Fidel, always we love Fidel."

Yuri Mazola spent seven years restoring a pink 1951 Pontiac, complete with its original engine and gear box. It's as if the country went back in time; streets were uncharacteristically silent Sunday afternoon while the automobile rolled through the famed Malecon. A banner hung in front of Plaza 13 de Marzo waved in the air; it said "thank you for everything, Fidel" in spanish.

The somber atmosphere marks the beginning of an eight-day period of mourning for Fidel Castro, the polarizing, yet revolutionary former Cuban leader.

Even those who were oppressed under Castro's regime are showing respect, such as Berta Soler, the leader of "Damas de Blanco", or the Ladies in White, an opposition movement founded in 2003. The women and relatives of jailed dissidents typically march every Sunday after church; today, they remained inside for fear of retribution.

"Nothing will change the dictator. The dictator Raul Castro will continue his war," Soler said. "More than dictators, they are like a mafia family: they can do whatever they want and they are still in charge of everything."

Regardless of the feelings Cubans have toward the late ruler, the historical and cultural significance of his death is undeniable. 

"We're all very aware that it is a historical moment," said Luis Duno-Gottberg, professor of Caribbean-American studies at Rice University in Houston. "I was telling my students 'yesterday the 20th century came to an end.' It is that significant."

Tomorrow, Havana will prepare to eulogize Fidel Castro in a large ceremony at Plaza de la Revolución, which thousands are expected to attend. But with his passing comes uncertainty of how relations between the U.S. and Cuba will progress.

New non-stop airline flights to the U.S. from Cuba will begin the same day as the ceremony — the first in more than 50 years. This means good news for American tourism in Cuba, which is up 80 percent this year.

Thawing relations is a good sign for baseball fanatics like Yuri, who told News 4 he hopes one day he can see his New York Yankees play in the Bronx. 

A Dallas preparatory school for boys denounced actions by one of its graduates. On Friday, St. Mark's School of Texas released a statement rejecting "racism and bigotry in all of its forms and expressions."

The message did not name the graduate but referenced a video of the alumnus "leading a white nationalist meeting in Washington, D.C."

White nationalist Richard Spencer, an alumnus of St. Mark's, lead a conference in Washington, D.C., on Nov. 19, drawing Nazi-style salutes from people in the audience.

In a video released on YouTube by The Atlantic, Spencer praised the election of Donald Trump as president by saying, "Hail Trump! Hail our people! Hail victory!"

“America was, until this past generation, a white country designed for ourselves and our posterity,” Spencer said. “It is our creation, it is our inheritance, and it belongs to us.” 

St. Mark's statement, from headmaster David W. Dini, read in part:

"On Friday, November 18th in our annual Thanksgiving message to alumni,parents, and faculty, we referenced recent news stories that connect St. Mark’s to ideas expressed by one of our graduates that conflict directly with our core values and principles. Just one day later, video footage emerged of this alumnus leading a white nationalist meeting in Washington, D.C., bringing even greater attention to these hateful, divisive, racist, and anti-Semitic views. This has been deeply troubling and terribly upsetting to our whole school community. At St. Mark’s, we reject racism and bigotry in all its forms and expressions. Our mission, values, and programs stand in direct opposition to these vulgar ideas. In light of such comments, our mission to develop boys of strong character, compassion, empathy, and courage has increasing relevance and importance."

It continued:

"We remain deeply committed to including and valuing all students of different backgrounds, races, religions, beliefs, and experiences, and our commitment to those ideals is paramount and immutable."

Spencer is scheduled to address students at Texas A&M University on December 6. The school said it did not invite Spencer but cannot stop the speech because people can reserve campus space available to the public.

Our media partners at The Dallas Morning News reported that some of Spencer's former classmates at St. Mark's began an online fund raising campaign to repudiate his ideas. The goal is to raise money for the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit group that helps refugees and asylum-seekers, including in the United States.

Last December, the state of Texas tried to bar the International Rescue Committee from resettling Syrian refugees in Texas. But in June, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that Texas had no legal standing to bring a suit.

Turkish authorities detained two reporters working for foreign news organizations in southeast Turkey, the latest journalists taken into custody as part of the government's sweeping crackdown following a failed coup in July, NBC News reported.

BBC Turkish correspondent Hatice Kamer was detained Saturday in the town of Sirvan while covering a recent copper mine collapse that killed at least 11 workers, the broadcaster said. Voice of America said its freelance reporter, Khajijan Farqin, was detained the same day in Diyarbakir.

Kamer was released on Sunday, BBC Turkish said. She told German broadcaster WDR by phone after being freed that she was told she would face charges of having supported the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK, through her reporting. Kamer said there was no evidence for that.

Voice of America later reported Sunday that Farqin had also been released. The details of her arrest are still unclear, the outlet said.

Just days after authorities captured the suspect accused in the mysterious killing of a Santee woman in her home, her family raised money for a reward to catch a second suspect wanted in the attack. 

Leticia Arroyo was killed on Oct. 4 inside her Santee townhouse.

Last week, Jose Luis Nunez-Torres, 21, of San Diego, was arrested and re-booked on a single count of murder for the killing. Nunez-Torres was already in custody at the San Diego Central Jail on unrelated charges. 

However, police continue to search for a second suspect in the woman's death.

On Sunday, the victim's family raised money at an Applebee's in El Cajon. The money will go toward offering a reward for anyone with information that can lead them to the other suspect. 

Her family says they will not stop until they find the second person responsible for her death. Leticia's sister, Priscilla Chavez, says they want justice. 

"It was somebody that was desperate and willing to take somebody's life over it," said Chavez. "I just hope that we get justice for my sister."

The loss of their sister and daughter continues to weigh heavily on them, Chavez said. She said Leticia was a beloved daughter, sister and aunt who made everyone laugh and had an infectious smile.

"My sister was my best friend It's just you have to move on," she said. "It's hard when you know there's somebody out there."

The investigation is ongoing. If you would like to donate to help the family, the family has set up a GoFundMe page. Click here to find it. 

In October, Arroyo's roommate came home to their residence in 8800 block of Mission Greens Road, near Mission Gorge, at around 10:40 p.m. to find the victim unconscious on the floor, critically injured. He called 911; deputies pronounced her dead when they arrived. 

The investigation spanned several blocks in Santee as deputies gathered evidence. At this time, deputies said they found "blood evidence" was found in the street near the woman's home, although detectives have not yet determined if the blood belongs to the victim or to the suspect or suspects.

Sheriff's officials have not revealed what happened the day of the homicide. 

Anyone with information on this case can reach out to the SDSO’s Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321 or (858) 565-5200, or San Diego County Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
